One of the partners at my firm bought one of these for the Gym at work.

It’s a great bit of kit when using their app, but I wish it worked with ERG mode on TrainerRoad ([TrainerRoad’s compatibility list suggests it doesn’t](https://www.trainerroad.com/equipment-checker)) it’s a bit spiky with Zwift too).

Interesting that the DCRainmaker table says it doesn’t do L+R power, it definitely does, their app constantly bangs on about smoothness and balance and gives you a breakdown at the end of each session, it’s helped improve my pedalling technique no end.

Fixed. Though, I’m checking as I can’t remember off-hand if they actually broadcast that over ANT+/BLE?

i use the Wattbike Atom in ERG mode with TrainerRoad. Have done for a year now, it works fine, id go as far as to say its excellent. Though my wife has a very low FTP (approx 100w and not a cyclist) that causes some issues with the resistance during rest periods.)
